2. The very best of Igor’s own current and former students

• Having spent years personally tutoring and training with Igor, each student has an intimate knowledge of Igor's best-practice teaching methods and an exceptionally deep understanding of secondary math.

• Because of all the work they have completed with Igor, our tutors have all had perfect scores on their ACT/SAT math, SAT math subject tests, and AP Calculus BC, as well as passed the AMC 10 or 12.

• They were top students in their school and usually among the top math students in their state. Each tutor has developed a deeper intuitive understanding of math than any of their peers, as well as the vast majority of high school math teachers.

Each new student is carefully paired with the Solve It! tutor who will best match his or her needs, schedule, budget, and personality.

• Simple and highly effective note-taking system, which allows tutors to quickly fill in gaps in students’ knowledge, while only needing to teach each concept or problem type once.

• The Solve It! Learning System efficiently and adaptively fills in the gaps in the student's math knowledge. This guarantees that every student receives perfectly individualized training for a deep, long-lasting understanding for each topic that he/she struggles on for free.

• A carefully curated collection of textbooks which is effective for supplemental learning, extra homework, test prep, and even comprehensive privately-taught math courses.

• Students are encouraged to be self-sufficient by doing as much of the work as possible on their own. We teach students not to use tutors as a crutch, but to use them when they have trouble learning a topic on their own. This allows students to gain the full benefits of tutoring, while teaching them healthy study habits and saving you money!

• The true foundation of our approach is simply to teach math the right way. The uniquely effective best-practice math teaching techniques that Igor has developed allow students to learn in a way that is intuitive, efficient and permanent.

• Versatile online classroomfor when students (or tutors) are located outside of St. Louis or simply prefer to learn from the comfort of their homes. Our classroom includes audio, video, a dynamic whiteboard, and recordable lessons. Because our online classroom offers all of the benefits of in-person tutoring, our online students can expect to see the same results!

• In-person tutoring at our Learning Center or at the students' homes (*includes small driving fee).

• Engaging, stylish main classroom for one-on-one tutoring, group tutoring sessions and even full-sized classes. Our tables have writeable, custom-cut glass tops, which allow students to scribble all over them during their lessons. These tables are not only lots of fun, but also a highly effective learning tool.

• Comfortable waiting area, free-wifi, and a great selection of complementary drinks and snacks. Being well-versed in educational psychology, Igor helps students to build the most positive possible associations with learning math. As a result, his students eagerly look forward to coming to the Solve It! Learning Center because it is a enjoyable and exciting experience all around!
